Beyond the Family: An Ecosystem Approach to Family Philanthropy
Release Date: 
12/12/2023

The success of family philanthropy is dependent on the willingness of the family to embrace an ecosystem of partners. A terrific example of a family philanthropy that uses an ecosystem approach in its work is the Bainum Family Foundation. By understanding and embracing the roles each stakeholder must play to achieve meaningful societal change, families, staff members, grantees, and community members can better experience stronger relationships, establish clear lines of accountability, employ equitable practices, and learn from each other, making for lasting impact.

It’s time for Maryland Philanthropy Network’s peer learning exchange for arts and culture funders! This year, we’ll gather over a cuppa for a lightly structured peer-to-peer exchange on a handful of topics, including the Maryland State Arts Council's new Arts Capital grant program. We’ll also discuss some group “business” like the possibility of doing a comprehensive grant survey. We encourage you to bring your burning questions, strategic ponderings or interesting projects to raise with the group.
